Table 4.

Far-UVC 1-Log10 ID value (mJ·cm−2) for all vegetative cells and endospores for which data were collected through systematised review. Where 1-Log10 ID needed to be calculated for an individual species, the dose (mJ·cm−2) at which the greatest statistically significant inactivation was achieved prior to tailing was divided by the corresponding inactivation (Log10 CFU·mL−1). For all data used to calculate median values, references are included; in some cases, multiple values were taken from a single publication.
